I live in Iowa and I can tell you that an M37,
24V,
starts always at 17 below zero, actual temp.
No garage.
I haven't had my power wagon (12 volt) over a
winter yet, we'll see. But starting is not
going to be your problem with making a PW a
daily driver- I hope you don't have to drive far.
They have no suspension-with 14 leaves in the
rear and 11 in the front they literally ride like
wagons-covered wagons, that is. I love them, but
I would not like to drive more than 20 miles a
day unless you have a real smooth road. Oh, yeah, wear ear plugs too. M37s ride
MUCH better. Radial tires help; the original
bias ply NDs are worthless on ice and snow and
ride hard as well.
Have fun,
